/vr/ - Retro Games

Hey /vr/doomers, I just wanted to thank ya'll for the advice you gave us on setting up a Doom LAN. Here's the photos:

We setup an 8-node cluster, but only used 6 for the deathmatch. The remaining 2 machines were setup for 1v1 deathmatch versus Romero. If you got past the 6-man game, you could challenge him. Only one guy beat him, 20 to 19. Another 2 guys lost 19 to 20, but almost everyone else went down with scores like 5 to 20 or -7 to 20.

Romero is a monster. We will be publishing the actual replays of John's fights online in the next month or so. I'll come back and post a link here.

We had asked Tom Hall what maps Romero liked, but in the end, John just wanted Doom 2 regular maps as that gave the other guy a chance. He also wanted the score limit at 20, which took time sometimes, but other times, he still wiped guys up in 5 minutes.
